Default Buying bid links

Has anyone ever tried buying the bids from companies who sell them?

I'm thinking of giving one a try.

I'm not sure what you mean by a bid link?

If you're talking about paid links, beware, Google doesn't like them and you could effectively disappear from cyberspace!

I'm always getting solisited by companies like Bid Net and Great Lists. They sell contact information from business and governments across the country for marketing purposes. It cost around $1,500 or more per year. I was thinking of giving one a try, but wanted to find out if it's worth the money first.

Thanks

Sounds like they are selling email lists. Since you don't know whether the companies on the list agreed to signup and receive commercial emails from you, I'd be VERY skeptical.

Read this article and scroll down to where it says "Scenarios that DON'T equate to permission"
